Abstract During the latest Miocene, the Mediterranean Basin was affected by extreme paleoceanographic and paleoenvironmental changes culminating with evaporite (gypsum and halite) formation during the Messinian Salinity Crisis (MSC: 5.97–5.33 Ma).

This study presents a detailed investigation of the Velika Vrbica loess‐palaeosol sequence, situated in the Wallachian Basin of northeastern Serbia, with the aim to reconstruct palaeoenvironmental changes spanning Marine Isotope Stages (MIS) 3 to 1. Using optically stimulated luminescence (OSL) dating, low field magnetic susceptibility (χlf), and mass ...

Morphometric divergence in Cyprideis (Ostracoda) during the Middle and Late Miocene of the Central Paratethys realm [PDF]
A morphometric outline analysis of the brackish-water ostracod Cyprideis examines a 2.0-million-year period during which the Central Paratethys region underwent significant geographic and environmental transformations.

Paleoenvironmental and stratigraphic investigations of the foraminiferal fauna from the Karpatian (Lower Miocene) Garáb Schlier Formation of the Mátraverebély-122 (Mv-122) borehole (North Hungary) [PDF]
The Garáb Schlier Formation is composed of gray sand, silt, clay and clay marl, deposited in an open marine environment. The aims of this study were to reconstruct its paleoenvironmental features and to propose a hypostratotype of the Garáb Schlier ...

ABSTRACT Aim Using a widely distributed and frequently hybridising fish (genus Rutilus) in the Palearctic as a model system, we re‐evaluated a series of hypotheses on phylogeny, taxonomy, phylogeography and the role of hybridization in evolutionary history based on the first large‐scale analyses of nuclear SNPs together with mtDNA data obtained from ...

ABSTRACT Dispersal of marine benthic invertebrates is typically dependent on the developmental mode of their pelagic larvae, which can be prolonged and based on plankton feeding (planktotrophic), or short and rely on the nutrients from the egg (non‐planktotrophic).

Circum-Mediterranean Neogene (Miocene and Pliocene) marine-continental chronologic correlations of European mammal units [PDF]
This paper is an update of Steininger et al. 1989. It is mainly concerned with the chronologic correlation of the Miocene and Pliocene European Mammal Biozonations, the "European Neogene Mammal Faunal Zones" (MN zones, for discussion see Steininger et al.

MioVeg1: A Global Middle Miocene Vegetation Reconstruction for Climate Modeling
Abstract Climate models require boundary condition information, such as vegetation and soil distributions because they influence the mean state climate, and feedbacks can significantly influence regional climate and climate sensitivity to CO2 forcing.

Rediscovering Globigerina bollii Cita and Premoli Silva 1960 [PDF]
Globigerina bollii Cita and Premoli Silva was described from the historical Langhian-type section in Langhe, Piedmont (Italy). Due to its peculiar compact morphology, it was set apart from all the other globigerinids typical of the coeval Mediterranean ...

Origin and diversification of Lake Ohrids endemic acroloxid limpets: the role of geography and ecology [PDF]
Background: Ancient Lake Ohrid, located on the Albania-Macedonia border, is the most biodiverse freshwater lake in Europe. However, the processes that gave rise to its extraordinary endemic biodiversity, particularly in the species-rich gastropods, are ...
